On Friday, I finally got my SVN account It seems that it was created earlier but they were errors in the automatic email system and I didn’t receive my confirmation email. I had to resend a email to sysadmin because I needed my SVN account ASAP to commit my initial work on the global identity.

For the past few days. I been working on implementing the application of the global identity. Thanks to Oliver Goffart advice and suggestions, I was able to implement it. But to full support, it requires me to examine each protocol and check how to apply the nickname on the server. For now, it is only implemented in MSN and Jabber. MSN was pretty straightforward since they were a method to change the nickname(changePublicName()). For Jabber, I needed to retrive to vCard, change the nickname in and repost it on the server. But it’s not finish. Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, AIM, Groupwise, IRC, Yahoo still do not apply the global identity if applicable.

The work on global identity has pushed Jabber and Gadu-Gadu maintainer to improve their code a little bit. And it’s work on the other side. Since I have committed my work into the Kopete SVN, I got request to improve my code mostly from Gof I love working on Kopete, it’s really a fun learning experience.
